Virtual Visit Northern Ireland

Enjoy lazy summer days, picnics, making sandcastles and long walks on this stretch of golden sand on the North Antrim coast. You'll find that even on a busy day, this is a secluded and relaxing place to be. The beach is backed by ancient dunes that provide a range of rich habitats for bird and animal life.

The area is breathtaking in its beauty and pristine landscape and an excellent location to base yourself to explore the wonderful North Antrim coast from.

Whitepark Bay was one of the first settlements of man in Ireland and evidence of these Neolithic settlers are continually being exposed  on the raised beach and sand dune system. It is known that the manufacturing and exporting of axes and arrow heads took place from here, the limestone cliffs being a rich source of  flint nodules.
